Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 220 Britain and France retreat! The emperor spurts blood

In the palace of Prince Gong.

"What is he here for? What is he here for?" Prince Gong said tremblingly: "The talks are almost over. The foreigners will be able to withdraw their troops soon."

He was right, the key terms had been negotiated.

The most critical compensation was also negotiated, with compensation of 8 million taels to the British and 8 million taels to the French.

In addition, the terms for foreign missionaries were further improved, allowing churches to purchase land in the country.

According to the tacit agreement, the British and French forces could then retreat with satisfaction after plundering the Old Summer Palace and several other royal gardens.

"If he comes like this, won't he cause trouble again?" Yi said.

Wenxiang, the commander of the infantry army, said: "Your Majesty, do you want to go and talk to him?"

Bao Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said: "Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to talk to him?"

Prince Gong and Prince Yi suddenly became quiet, and he immediately understood what the two of them meant.

Do you want to lure Su Yi as an ally?

Now there are two people who are suppressed by the emperor and cannot get ahead. One is Su Yi and the other is Prince Gong Yi.

Yi was also a Westernizer.

To a certain extent, what Su Yi wants to do is also what Yi wants to do.

But for Yi, Su Yi went too far.

"I heard that the emperor is not in good health and has tuberculosis." Baojun said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the rumors come from if there is nothing? The emperor is in good health and prosperous for a long time." Prince Gong said tremblingly.

Baojun said: "The Sushun faction has all gone to Chengde. If the day comes that Sushun and others will completely take power, then the prince will be in danger."

Wen Xiang, as the infantry commander of the Yamen, felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

He was left in the capital, and to some extent he was on the same side as Prince Gong, but he didn't really want to go so far.

Baojun said: "What happens in the future depends on whether it is near or far."

Wen Xiang said: "There is a question now. Even if the prince wants to bring in the army as foreign aid, should he ask Su Yi for help?"

Prince Gong was silent for a while and said: "This person is too difficult to control."

Baojun said: "That's the problem. Even if we want to bring in the army as foreign aid, it can be Seng Gelinqin, Shengbao, or Ronglu, but it can't be Su Yi."

Prince Gong said: "Then why did you mention him?"

Baojun said: "Just say it, just say it."

Suddenly, Prince Gong trembled.

He understood Baojun's deepest thoughts, which were thoughts he couldn't even imagine.

Su Yi led his troops to Beijing, hoping to attack the Qing emperor in the future and punish the treacherous ministers.

If something earth-shaking is really done, the biggest beneficiary might even be Prince Gong, right?

Now is the most humiliating moment for the emperor. What Bao Jun did not say was that Prince Gong Yi and Su Yi joined forces to do something shocking.

Or to put it more directly, Su Yi simply rebelled to the end and did something horrifying.

Then, Prince Gong ascended the throne.

Thinking of this possibility, Yi's body felt a little warm.

But I still completely rejected it, thinking it was extremely ridiculous.

Even if he were ten times crazier, he would never usurp the throne.

Prince Gong said: "Keep this person at a respectful distance, completely respect him at a distance!"

Wen Xiang said: "Keeping a respectful distance may not be enough. If one day in the future, the prince can take power, then he will become a serious problem for you."

…………………………………………

After deliberation, Prince Gong Yi decided to pretend that nothing happened.

He could not stop Su Yi from leading his army to Beijing, nor did he contact or pay attention to it.

But Count Elgin was shocked.

Is Su Yi crazy?

Send troops to Beijing at this time?

He immediately ordered the coalition forces to stop looting and prepare for battle.

Next, the two people choose a place to talk.

"Earl, we have discussed this." Su Yi said slowly: "After conquering the capital, you have restored your dignity. The next plundering of the royal gardens and the plundering of the people of the capital should not happen."

Earl Elgin said: "Have we ever had this kind of tacit understanding? I don't remember it at all."

Su Yi said: "Now that your army has become rich enough, please lead your army and leave the capital immediately."

"Impossible!" Earl Elgin sneered: "The tiger that comes out of the cage will never go home without a full stomach."

"But don't worry, as long as we rob the Old Summer Palace and rob the Imperial Palace, we will be satisfied, and I will be able to explain to the country enough."

Su Yi said: "Do you know how successful the World Expo that just passed was?"

Earl Elgin said: "I don't know, but I can imagine. Because of this, so..."

It was the success of the World Exposition that made Count Elgin need to carry out the war against the Qing Dynasty to the end, looting and burning the Old Summer Palace, and even directly burning the Forbidden City if necessary.

In this way, the possibility of future cooperation between the two countries will be completely destroyed and the war and dumping route will be carried out to the end.

"I didn't break any agreement, right?" Count Elgin sneered: "When I left London, I did promise to stop the war as soon as Prince Albert's secret order came. But for some reason, the war continued. Too fast."

The war was proceeding so quickly, of course, entirely due to the will of the supreme commander, Count Elgin.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the Qing army is too useless.

"Su Yi, I will still fulfill my original promise. When Prince Albert's secret order arrives, I will immediately withdraw my troops."

"But the London World's Fair is still in full swing now, and it will take at least more than a month for Prince Albert's secret order to arrive."

"After more than a month, I think we will withdraw."

Su Yi said: "If you insist on plundering the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, then I can only use military force to stop it."

Earl Elgin sneered and said: "You can't ask for it. For me, this is completely beneficial without any harm. But I still want to advise you a little, don't engage in such a useless struggle."

"I know that your new army is relatively powerful in combat in the Qing Dynasty. But don't forget, your army was trained by our instructors, and you are just clumsy imitators."

"The Tianjin New Army was also trained by you, right? What was the result? A completely humiliating failure!"

"I couldn't be more excited about the upcoming battle."

"The Tianjin New Army once had a reputation of being invincible in the Qing Dynasty, but now its disguise has been completely torn away, revealing its true face of weakness."

"Now, it's your turn, Su Yi!"

"Your military myth in the Qing Dynasty will also be shattered."

"Once you are smelled weak, countless jackals will bite you and tear you to pieces."

"Are you ready to show your true colors? Su Yi!"

………………………………

Su Yi's army left Deshengmen and established positions at Ditan and Huangsi in the north of the capital.

This place is already out of the capital, not far from the Old Summer Palace.

The British and French allied forces were stationed on the east side of the Old Summer Palace at this time.

Both armies are building defense lines.

The entire capital seemed to have fallen into silence again.

Many people quietly climbed up the city wall and watched every move outside.

Three days later!

The arrival of the British and French forces issued a pre-war declaration.

"This corrupt country tortures our compatriots and they stain the civilized world."

"For the majesty of the British Empire and the majesty of the French Empire, we will burn down their Old Summer Palace and their Forbidden City, and we will leave a lesson to this country that will never be forgotten."

"However, there is a mediocre and ridiculous army standing in front of us."

"There is a Chinese idiom called the mantis' arm blocking the cart."

"From Dagokou to now, we have defeated nearly 100,000 Qing troops."

"What stands in front of us is an arrogant Qing warlord. He is no different from other Qing soldiers, but he is so stupid that he thinks he is powerful."

"What we have to do is crush them mercilessly just like we destroyed other bug armies!"

"Crush them!"

More than 6,000 British and French troops roared.

At this time, they had despised all the Qing armies to the extreme.

Moreover, the robbery was really pleasant, and suddenly someone came out to block it, blocking people's way of making money, just like killing their parents.

So at this time, of course, the fighting spirit is skyrocketing.

With an order.

Fight, break out.

The British and French forces launched a frantic bombardment towards Su Yisu's position.

Su Yi's artillery fired back.

But due to the artillery fire from both sides, Su Yi would definitely suffer a big loss.

This time, he led his army northward, first taking the canal, landing in advance before reaching Tongzhou, and then walking more than 200 miles to Beijing.

The only ones that can be brought are light artillery that is easy to transport.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

There were bursts of bombardment.

The previous battles between the British and French forces were too easy, so there was still a lot of ammunition left, which was poured almost crazily on Su Yi's position.

Therefore, the artillery fire from both sides is not at the same level at all.

In fact, Su Yi's artillery fire became weaker and weaker, and finally almost stopped the bombardment.

This was not to show weakness, but the artillery of the British and French forces was too accurate and too violent.

The artillery position on Su Yi's side must be constantly moving, otherwise it will suffer a devastating blow immediately.

Almost as soon as the fighting started, Su Yi's new army felt the terror of the British and French coalition forces.

It really feels like you just came out of the novice village and encountered a BOSS battle. (Old headband, big tree guard)

After feeling that the artillery fire from Su Yi's side had stopped.

The British and French forces were overjoyed that they had suppressed Su Yi's artillery so easily.

Next, instead of stopping the shelling, they continued to increase the intensity of the shelling.

The entire position of Su Yi's new army seemed to be plowed through completely. While the opponent was shelling, orders from officers continued to come from Su Yi's new army position.

"Do not move!"

"Do not move!"

"No one moves!"

Then, everyone really stopped moving.

The comrades beside him were blown away and did not move.

The brothers who had been eating and spanking together this morning suddenly became motionless, unable to move even after being pushed. After a while, blood flowed all over the floor.

It was a bombardment like hell.

The people watching the battle on the city wall were frightened out of their wits.

This... under such fierce artillery fire.

Where is there anyone else?

I don’t know how long it took, but the almost crazy bombardment by the British and French forces ended.

Then, an order was given.

The coalition forces began to charge.

The first to charge were the cavalry.

More than a thousand cavalry roared towards both sides.

The infantry of the British and French forces in the middle were arranged neatly, coming in overwhelming numbers.

Su Yi shouted loudly: "Line up, line up!"

Then, after the artillery fire was messy, all the troops returned to battle formation as quickly as possible, and lined up with the help of simple cover.

Both sides entered the range of fire!

"Fire!"

"fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Viewed from the sky, it is undoubtedly extremely gorgeous.

The British and French forces still used classic column tactics at this time. The current rifle does not support skirmishing tactics.

The entire army, one team after another, moved forward in an orderly and beautiful manner.

The cavalry charged wildly on the flanks.

Artillery was on the sides and rear, bombarding continuously.

The reserve team is in the rear, ready to go into battle at any time.

After entering the range of fire, both sides became motionless.

Aim, shoot, aim, shoot!

Soldiers from both sides fell in pieces.

At the same time, the cavalry of the British and French allied forces charged directly into Su Yi's position from both wings.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shiqing led the New Army cavalry and rushed out fiercely.

The two cavalrymen fought together crazily.

On the walls of the capital, the people watching the battle were completely stunned.

This... is probably a European-style battlefield that appears in the East for the first time.

As teachers, the British and French forces met their best students in the East.

Six thousand British and French troops fought against eight thousand Su Yi's new army.

This is a battle full of infinite beauty.

Both armies were arranged neatly.

Shooting wildly at each other, motionless no matter what happened.

The comrades beside him fell down in pieces, but remained motionless.

The commander fell and his deputy came up as his replacement, but he still didn't move.

In all the previous battles, faced with the overwhelming array of British and French forces, the Qing army either rushed forward bravely and brainlessly, or their defense collapsed in place.

Now, the two armies have almost identical tactics.

British coach Lieutenant General Michel and French coach Montauban were completely stunned when they saw this scene.

Just... the casualties in this period of fighting far exceeded all the battles in the past few months.

I couldn't see how many casualties there were, but I only saw my own soldiers falling to the ground one after another. He also saw Su Yi's army constantly falling.

"What did those people do? What did they do?" Lieutenant General Michel roared: "How did they train Su Yi's new army?"

"Their marksmanship is almost as accurate as ours."

In the previous battles, the British and French forces simply pushed through and won directly.

But now, the entire battle formation is stuck in the middle.

The main infantry force of the British and French forces could not push past.

Su Yi's new army's marksmanship and rate of fire are not as good as those of the British and French forces, but they are defensive, have simple fortifications, and have more people.

"Oh my god, we can't afford such heavy casualties!" Lieutenant General Michel said, "We must adjust our tactics."

Montauban said: "No, this is an anxious moment and we cannot retreat. Look at our cavalry, they are about to break through."

"As long as our cavalry defeats the opponent's cavalry and can enter their position, it means victory."

Lieutenant General Michael immediately climbed to a high place and looked at the cavalry battlefield.

really!

The cavalry of the British and French forces had the upper hand.

At this time, Su Yi immediately felt that the combat effectiveness of his own army was not as good as that of the British and French allied forces, and the gap was not even small.

But the infantry can still hold on because of its absolute fighting will, accurate marksmanship, and simple defenses.

The gap between cavalry and infantry is even greater.

On Wang Shiqing's side, there were a total of two thousand cavalry.

On the British and French side, there were only 1,230 cavalry.

But even so, the New Army Cavalry still fell into a disadvantage.

Wang Shiqing's eyes were about to burst. The commander-in-chief gave us the most money and the most energy. However, two thousand cavalrymen could not defeat more than one thousand others?

What a shame.

What else can I, Wang Shiqing, look like, living in this world?

Wang Shiqing, furious and furious, shot arrows almost crazily.

The terrifying strong bow shoots extremely terrifying arrows, which can directly shoot through the cavalry of the British and French allied forces.

He shot many people by himself, but he could not change the situation of the war.

Just when the cavalry front was extremely critical, the commander's flag suddenly appeared directly on the cavalry battlefield.

Su Yi was wearing a suit of armor, riding an astonishingly tall horse, and charged towards them wildly while waving a sword.

As the head coach, at this moment, he has led the reserve team to the front line.

Waiting for a huge shame? ! Wang Shiqing urged his horse madly and rushed directly in front of Su Yi.

Su Yiduan shouted: "You are the commander, don't mess up, don't mess up!"

"Our cavalry is not afraid of death, but don't be chaotic!"

"Steady, steady!"

Suddenly, Wang Shiqing came to his senses, quickly abandoned his previous thoughts of humiliation and being shattered into pieces, and began to focus on command.

But Su Yi, the coach, turned into a great killer.

Because his personal combat power is so strong, he wears thick armor and is almost invulnerable.

Leading the elite reserve team to kill and bleed all the way.

This is not his personal heroism, there is really no way around it.

The reserve team led by Su Yi charged wildly and directly stopped the possible defeat of the cavalry front.

The crazy momentum of the British and French cavalry was blocked.

Wang Shiqing's cavalry, which was almost dispersed, took the opportunity to complete their formation once again.

Then, they bravely pressed forward again.

French commander Mentoban sighed: "There is no chance, just a little bit, just a little bit!"

Then!

The British and French coalition forces ordered to retreat temporarily.

The first day of the battle ended!

……………………

At night, the cavalry of Suye's new army fell into infinite self-blame.

They are the absolute main force of the new army, but they were the ones who almost collapsed first today.

"You are very brave, almost fearless of death!"

"Even charging with the belief that you must die."

"But we are facing a completely different opponent. Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry is also very brave, but it's useless!"

"Facing such a powerful opponent, we must not only be brave, but also wise!"

Lessons, stop at the right time!

Looking at the moon in the sky, Wang Shiqing said: "Marshal, our fighting power is not as good as the other side."

Su Ye said: "I know, we have to face this time."

Wang Shiqing said: "Yes, only when you know shame can you be brave!"

"But we are better than them in one aspect. Our battle is a battle of dignity. We are more willing to die, and they...cannot afford casualties."

Su Ye said: "Yes, we are willing to die!"

…………………………

The next day!

The battle broke out again. It was more tragic than the first day.

The main force of the British and French infantry was full of absolute will and kept pushing forward.

It was really overwhelming, and their cavalry was more fierce than yesterday.

However, today Wang Shiqing's cavalry stabilized and blocked the opponent's charge.

But the infantry position was broken into by the British and French coalition forces.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting.

The main force of the British and French infantry, risking huge casualties, finally broke through Su Ye's position.

It's not that Su Ye's army is not brave, but the artillery is not enough and the firepower is not dense enough.

Although I thought there would be this scene, it still hurts when it really happens.

Su Ye's army is already strong, but the obvious gap between the two armies is still exposed at this time.

There is no way. Su Ye's new army has been expanded repeatedly, and the battlefields fought in the country are too low-level.

The British and French coalition forces in the European battlefield are much more difficult and tragic, and they can train a stronger army.

Whether it is the foundation or the combat experience, the two armies are quite different.

"Won!" Meng Toban smiled.

Lieutenant General Mi Qier smiled and said, "Yes, we won."

After seeing this, Earl Elgin in the distance also said to Mai Huatuo beside him, "Won."

According to all previous combat experience, as long as the opponent's position is broken through, the Qing army will be defeated immediately.

Because there were fortifications and advanced weapons before, you can't win.

Not to mention the current close combat and hand-to-hand combat.

When Su Ye's new army was just formed, it was most afraid of hand-to-hand combat. After being killed by the Taiping Army, it almost collapsed.

But...

This time, it was different.

Facing foreigners, this was a humiliating battle for the entire new army.

A battle of fate.

A brutal hand-to-hand combat broke out.

Su Ye, Wang Shiqing and all the other main generals all died.

At this time, Su Ye's new army was braver and fearless than any army they encountered.

Almost fanatical, crazy.

Although, the hand-to-hand combat strength was still not as good as the British and French coalition forces.

After all, this was not facing the foreign rifle team of Wall in history, not mercenaries, but the elite of the British and French powers.

But Su Ye's army was even more afraid of death, and truly lived for death.

The soldiers of Su Ye's new army, even if they were stabbed once, twice, or three times.

Even if their intestines flowed out, even if their flesh and blood were blurred.

They still rushed forward with knives and fought desperately, using stones and teeth to destroy the enemy.

"Foreign devils, die, die, die..." A soldier lit a gunpowder bag and rushed directly towards a group of British and French troops.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The British and French troops directly beat him into a hornet's nest. He fell to the ground and died when he was still more than ten meters away.

"Boom..." The soldier was blown to pieces.

Then, the second, third, fourth, fifth...

Wave after wave of new army soldiers launched suicidal charges.

The entire army was almost completely crazy.

The entire battlefield was completely reduced to hell.

Two hours later!

Even the commander Su Ye was soaked in blood all over his body.

The British and French troops retreated again!

The next day, the battle ended.

……………………

The coalition headquarters fell into a dead silence.

"We can't fight any more." Lieutenant General Michel said, "Our army is indeed stronger and more powerful."

"On the first day, the cavalry almost broke through the enemy's defense line."

"On the second day, the infantry directly broke through the defense line."

"But unless we kill them all, they will fight forever."

"Even if we can kill them all, how many casualties will we have?"

"Do you know how many casualties we have now? Today's casualties exceed the total of the war against China in the past few years."

"Su Ye's new army suffered more casualties, even much more, but today's hellish battlefield scared many people."

"Su Ye's army can fight for honor, for dignity, and can fight to the last man."

"But for us, the war is over and we have won. If it was just to plunder the Old Summer Palace and the imperial palace, our soldiers would not have such great motivation."

"Cease fire!" said Lieutenant General Michel.

Then, General Mentoban repeated this sentence.

Earl Elgin gritted his teeth and said, "No, no, never cease fire."

"Since it has begun, we must completely kill Su Ye's army, completely expel him from the political arena of the Qing Dynasty, and completely cut off any possibility of the British Empire supporting him."

"We still have troops. We brought 30,000 troops, and only 6,000 people were involved in the battle with Su Ye this time. We still have troops in Tianjin, Tongzhou, Yantai, and Guangzhou!"

"Order to gather 10,000 people, enter the battlefield in the capital, and kill Su Ye's main force!"

Lieutenant General Michel trembled and said, "My Lord, Su Ye and Prince Albert , very close relationship. "

Earl Elgin said: "He took the initiative to join this war, didn't he?"

"Besides, Prince Albert's secret order has not arrived, and the secret order of Congress has not arrived. The progress of the war depends entirely on us."

"Tell all soldiers that after completely destroying Su Ye's army, you can completely plunder the Old Summer Palace and the Qing Dynasty's imperial palace."

"Everyone and every household in this capital can plunder as much as you want."

"After destroying Su Ye's new army, the entire army will be completely indulged for ten days!"

With Earl Elgin's order, a team of cavalry went to Tongzhou to convey the order and went to Tianjin to convey the order.

A few days later!

The British and French coalition forces of 10,000 troops completed their assembly in Tianjin.

Then, they marched towards the capital.

At that time, the British and French coalition forces only dispatched 6,000 people to attack the capital.

And this time, the main force to fight Su Ye was a full 13,000 to 14,000 people.

At the same time!

Wang Youling, Zhang Guoliang, and Feng Zicai led a coalition of 30,000 troops from seven southern provinces to land in Cangzhou.

Then, they rushed to the capital at the fastest speed.

These 30,000 troops almost exhausted the troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Later, Tian Yugong led an army of 10,000 and had already entered the Yangtze River.

The war with the British and French coalition forces was about to enter a comprehensive expansion.

This was something Su Ye did not want to see at all, because once it evolved into a full-scale war, the future cooperation would be gone.

It was at this time!

July 17th!

Bashali's ship docked in Tianjin.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Bashali shouted loudly.

He learned that Su Ye's army and the coalition forces had opened fire, and another 10,000 coalition forces had reinforced the capital to completely eliminate Su Ye's main force.

Bashali was almost going crazy.

His future great cause was about to succeed.

It was about to change the fate of countless people.

"Prince Albert ordered a ceasefire!"

"Her Majesty the Queen ordered a ceasefire!"

"Parliament ordered a ceasefire!"

The Queen's order and the Parliament's order have not come yet.

But it was extremely urgent, so Bashali had no choice but to forge an imperial edict.

He did not stop at all, and led a team of cavalry to sprint towards the capital at full speed.

Finally, when there were still 60 miles away from the capital, he caught up with the 10,000 coalition forces.

"I am ordered by Prince Albert, Her Majesty the Queen, and the Parliament to ask you to cease fire!"

After reading it, the general in charge said, "I only saw the prince's secret order, not the orders of Her Majesty the Queen and the Parliament."

Bashali said, "It's behind, and it will be here soon!"

The general in charge said, "I'm very sorry, we need to see the orders of the Queen and the Parliament, or the orders of Earl Elgin, before we can stop the march."

Bashali had no choice but to rush towards the capital again with the cavalry.

A few hours later!

Bashali handed Prince Albert's secret order to Su Ye, and then he dressed up as an attendant.

A quarter of an hour later!

Su Ye led three people and rode towards the coalition's position.

The British and French coalition forces were shocked.

After the previous battle, they certainly knew that this was the opponent's commander, and he was an extremely powerful man.

Unexpectedly, he came with only three people.

Generals Mentoban and Michael came to greet him.

A moment later, several people went to Earl Elgin's room together.

Bashali handed the prince's secret order to the other party.

"Prince's order, cease fire immediately!"

Earl Elgin took it and opened it.

There is no doubt that this is Albert's handwritten secret order, and it is even covered with the royal emblem, not just the prince's own.

Bashali said: "The London World Expo has achieved unprecedented success. The orders for the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone exceeded 9 million pounds. The opening of the Expo has caused a sensation throughout Europe and the world. Prince Albert's reputation has reached its peak. Her Majesty the Queen has personally expressed her support for Sino-British cooperation." (9 million pounds, Bashali made up)

"Your Highness said that as long as the capital of the Qing Dynasty is conquered and the emperor compromises, you will have achieved great success."

"Next, the position waiting for you is the Governor-General of India!"

Suddenly, Earl Elgin's breath trembled.

The Governor-General of India is almost one of the most powerful positions in the British Empire.

How many places can a Chinese minister manage? Only a few people?

The Governor-General of India? He can manage millions of square kilometers and more than 100 million people.

The Viceroy of India is equivalent to the Emperor of India.

If you dare to refuse, you will completely anger His Highness and your future will be gone.

Half an hour later!

Count Elgin ordered that the war is over!

At this time, 10,000 British and French troops had just entered the capital from Yongding Gate.

……………………

The next day!

In the square in front of the Forbidden City.

More than 10,000 British and French troops stood neatly.

Countless people saw this scene and felt trembling and fearful in their hearts.

This...the British and French forces are going to officially enter the palace and destroy the Forbidden City?

Although there are people who are gloating about the misfortune, more people are desperate, frightened, and terrified.

Tears welled up.

The Forbidden City does indeed belong to the emperor.

But it is also a symbol of this country, a symbol for hundreds of years.

If the palace is destroyed, it means the fall of the country.

However, at this time, Su Yi, dressed in military uniform and protected by a group of new troops, entered the square in front of the Forbidden City.

Solemn and solemn.

Su Yi represents the Chinese side, and Count Elgin represents the British and French forces.

The armistice agreement was officially signed!

Yes, just an armistice.

And all the treaties have nothing to do with Su Yi.

After signing the armistice agreement.

Count Elgin ordered: "The whole army retreats!"

Then, under everyone's extremely horrified eyes, nearly 14,000 British and French troops left the capital.

What's the meaning? what happened?

The foreigners have withdrawn!

The capital was saved.

The imperial palace was saved, and the Old Summer Palace was saved.

Hundreds of thousands of people were saved.

Countless people witnessed this scene.

Marshal Su Yi saved the capital and the country.

……………………

The next day!

The entire streets of the capital were crowded with people.

"Commander Su Yi is victorious!"

"Commander Su Yi is a thousand years old!"

Countless people looked at Su Yi with eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration.

Su Yi went to his mansion under the protection of the new army.

Look at the "Rebellious Officials and Traitors" on the plaque above, and look at the "Rebellious Officials and Traitors" on the stone tablet set up at the door.

Countless people were angry, and the New Army's eyes were about to burst.

"Commander, smash it, smash it!"

"Commander, I'm here with a hammer, let's smash it!"

Su Yi raised his hand, and the whole place fell into silence.

"The emperor said that I am a rebellious minister and a traitor, I cannot smash him!"

"If you want to smash it, let the emperor do it himself!"

"I would like to ask the emperor, when the capital was in danger and the people were in danger, he fled in a hurry and was greedy for life and afraid of death. How could he have the face to face his ancestors? How could he have the face to lead the country?"

"The former Emperor Lie of the Ming Dynasty actually knew that the king died in the country and the emperor guarded the country, but he was not as good as the king who perished in the previous Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Jun in the crowd felt his heart tremble and his whole body became cold.

Previously, Su Yi only resigned from all positions and even returned all his fame to the emperor, which represented a break.

But he never said a word to the emperor.

At this time, in front of everyone, Su Yi formally criticized the emperor.

Moreover, he said this in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

What are the consequences of this?

After hearing this, hundreds of thousands of people were quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, someone raised their arms and shouted: "The commander-in-chief is right!"

"Hunjun!"

"Hunjun!"

In the crowd, people kept shouting.

Although only a few thousand people chanted out of hundreds of thousands of people.

But the sound was also deafening.

"Hunjun!"

Baojun in the crowd was almost tottering.

Crazy, crazy, completely crazy.

……………………

In the study room.

"Sir Basiali, are we friends?" Su Yi asked.

Bashar said politely: "Of course."

Su Yi said: "I cannot forgive what Count Elgin did. He ordered the plunder and humiliation of my people. He burned our country's royal gardens."

"Although I saved the Old Summer Palace, the palace, and the property and lives of countless people, it was not enough."

Ba Xiali trembled: "You, what do you want to do?"

Su Yi said: "You are in India, do you have any connections?"

Ba Xiali's teeth trembled and he said, "Yes, I guess I do."

Su Yi said: "In India, in the name of the rebels, we robbed and killed Count Elgin, cut him into eight pieces, and left him dead on the city wall!"

Basharli said: "That will trigger a new war, and the British Empire will once again launch a war of suppression against India."

Su Yi said: "What does that have to do with us? The British Empire is carrying out a suppressive war in India, so cooperation with China is more urgent, isn't it? It will be of greater benefit to you and me."

Ba Xiali said tremblingly: "Even if I don't agree, you will still find a way to do it, right?"

Su Yi said: "Yes, but as an ally, I feel it is necessary to tell you."

"I don't want to do it." Basia said: "I think there is no need to do this, but... no matter what I decide, you will do it. Then... then I have no choice, I can only put this plan Become more perfect and never let the country see any flaws, for the sake of our common interests.”

"Okay, I'll do it!" Basiali drank the cup of tea tremblingly.

Su Yi said: "Thank you."

Basia said politely: "There is something I want to ask you."

Su Yi said: "You tell me."

Ba Xiali said: "If I encounter a crisis in the future, will you do everything you can to help me and save me like you did for Xu Youren and Wang Youling?"

Su Yi was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I will."

Basia saluted, "Thank you very much."

Then, he stood up and said: "I will come up with the whole plan right now. Also, please don't tell Sir Baoling. Only the two of us know about this matter, okay?"

Su Yi said: "Of course."

…………………………

Su Yi saved the capital.

Su Yi forced the foreigners to retreat.

This news overflowed from the capital like a storm, sweeping to Shuntian Prefecture, to Zhili, and then to the whole country.

At this time, Prince Gong Yiye and Count Elgin signed all relevant treaties.

The whole process was very low-key.

Sino-British Beijing Treaty, Sino-French Beijing Treaty, Sino-US Beijing Treaty, Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty.

Because he represents the Qing court.

Su Yi was powerless to stop him, as he did not have any official position.

Moreover, in the future, he will use war and political means to destroy these humiliating treaties step by step and defeat the great powers.

Step by step, China will be elevated to the position of a world power.

This means that he is stepping up to the supreme position step by step.

Absolute justice.

A few days later!

The British and French forces officially withdrew from Tongzhou.

Next, they will also withdraw their troops from Tianjin.

At this time, Prince Gong, Wen Xiang, and Bao Yun were faced with a difficult choice.

How should everything in the capital be reported back to the emperor in Chengde, or should it even be reported?

"Even if we don't report, someone else will."

“Instead of doing this, it’s better for us to take the initiative.

Prince Gong said: "Then...should we report it truthfully?"

Baojun said: "It's best to tell the story truthfully."

Prince Gong said: "In this case, the emperor will completely vent his anger on me, right?"

Baojun said: "My lord, do you want the emperor to return immediately?"

Prince Gong was astonished and said: "Of course, I certainly hope that the emperor will return as soon as possible."

Of course he didn't want it in his heart.

The foreigners finally retreated, and the next biggest man in the capital was Prince Gong. He had not yet had time to enjoy his power.

But where can I say this?

Baojun said: "The foreigners are still in Tianjin and have not completely retreated. I'm afraid the emperor will be frightened when he returns."

"In addition, some time ago, in front of Su Yi's house, countless people chanted...those two words. If the emperor hears those two words, I'm afraid he won't want to go back at all. What should he do?"

This sentence is almost explicit.

Prince Gong said: "I'd better stop here with my memorial. But the emperor still needs to know the truth, so he has to find a way to find someone else to submit the memorial."

Baojun said: "That's natural!"

……………………

Rehe is under the jurisdiction of the capital, and the palace is in Chengde.

The emperor has been here for some time.

At first, he was still in agony.

But gradually, he chose to forget.

Sushun and others liked him and staged great dramas in the palace every day.

Previously, Sushun and others had sent women from the private sector to the palace, but it later caused a commotion and they did not dare to do it again.

But when I came here, I felt unscrupulous.

The folk were of stunning beauty and were sent to the palace one by one.

However, the emperor's lung disease seemed to have relapsed.

The weather is pleasant now, not cold at all. In previous years, the emperor's lung disease would only attack after winter.

However, it doesn't look serious. As long as the emperor is happy, the situation will be much better and the frequency of coughing will be much less.

The emperor was still very concerned about the situation in the capital and asked him three questions a day.

During this time, all good news came.

The foreigners withdrew from the capital.

The foreigners have withdrawn from Tongzhou.

The foreigners are going to withdraw from Tianjin.

Although Changchun Garden and other places were looted and burned by foreign barbarians, the most important Old Summer Palace was not burned, and it did not suffer much military disaster.

The Forbidden City was not damaged in any way.

The emperor was very happy after hearing this and praised: "Yi is not bad, Wen Xiang is not bad, Bao Jun is not bad either."

Next, another report came.

The talks with Prince Gong are almost over, and the foreigners have begun to withdraw their troops from Tianjin one after another.

Prince Gong has already submitted a petition asking the emperor to return.

At this point, the emperor was overjoyed.

Start thinking about when to return to Beijing.

Until this time, no one dared to tell the emperor everything that happened in the capital.

Until one day, when the emperor favored a civilian woman, the other party said afterwards: "Your Majesty, Su Yi fought with foreigners in the capital, and the casualties were tragic."

The emperor was stunned and began to question.

At this time, Sushun and others had no choice but to take out many secret memorials and handed them to the emperor.

"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die!"

"It's true that Su Yi said a lot of treacherous things in the capital. The emperor's dragon body is not in good condition. I really don't dare to show these things to the emperor!"

The emperor took a copy of the secret report and read it.

Su Yi led his army to Beijing and fought with the foreigners.

Su Yi forced back the foreign barbarian army, saved the Old Summer Palace, saved the Forbidden City, and saved the capital.

Earl Elgin and Su Yi signed an armistice agreement at the entrance of the palace, and then ordered a retreat.

The emperor's face began to turn blue and purple, and he hissed: "What else? What else?"

"You are so brave, you actually cut off the Holy Spirit?"

"Where are the other secret memoranda? Turn them all over and take them out." The emperor roared angrily.

Sushun knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, don't read the rest, don't read it."

The emperor said, "Bring them all here. Where are the secret reports from the sticking pole office?"

The sticking pole office never had any blood drops, and it was not even a very professional intelligence agency, but the secret reports from the capital were still sent out every day.

The emperor wanted to see it, and Sushun and others had no choice but to send eunuchs to deliver the secret reports from the sticking pole office.

And these secret reports were very detailed, even too detailed.

What Su Ye said at the doorstep that day was recorded in detail.

After Su Ye saved the capital, he was regarded as a great savior by countless people.

Hundreds of thousands of people followed him, and countless people knelt down to pay homage to Su Ye.

Some people shouted "Long live the king", and sometimes even shouted "Long live the king", perhaps they wanted to say "Ten thousand victories", but they shouted the wrong words.

The foreigners' retreat was regarded as Su Ye's merit.

Countless people erected monuments for Su Ye in their homes, calling him a hero who supported the country and was unparalleled in the world.

The two heart-piercing words Su Ye said at the doorstep were also clearly written.

The emperor was afraid of death and fled in a hurry, not having the face to face his ancestors.

Then, some words were not even dared to be written in the secret report of the sticking pole.

Because he wrote a paragraph and then crossed it out.

It would be fine if you didn't cross it out, but after crossing it out, the emperor was more curious about what was written on it, so he ordered: "Call the people from the sticking pole, call them!"

A moment later, a guard from the sticking pole knelt in front of the emperor.

"Were you there that day?" the emperor asked tremblingly.

"I was there."

The emperor said: "What else did Su Ye say that was extremely treasonous?"

The guards at the sticking pole did not dare to say.

The emperor said: "Don't say it? Do you want to live?"

The guards at the sticking pole trembled and said: "Su Ye said, say... The emperor is probably not as good as Chongzhen, the king who lost his country. He also knows that the king dies for the country and the emperor guards the country."

Hearing this, the emperor's face began to turn red.

"What else? What else did this traitor say?"

The guard at the sticking pole said: "At that time, many people wanted to help Su Ye destroy the plaque and stone tablet of the traitor, but Su Ye said that it could not be destroyed unless the emperor personally smashed the plaque and stone tablet one day."

"Dream, dream about it forever." The emperor roared loudly: "I wish I could tear him into pieces. He is a traitor and the biggest traitor since the founding of the Qing Dynasty."

After roaring, the emperor coughed desperately.

This cough was extremely violent and lasted for several minutes. The emperor's eyes were red from coughing.

Sushun and Du Han kowtowed desperately beside him and said, "Your Majesty, don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore."

After the emperor finally finished coughing, he covered his chest painfully and said, "What else, what else can he say that is so treasonous."

The guards at the sticking pole office really didn't dare to say anything, and quickly shook their heads and said, "No more, Your Majesty, really no more."

"Also, your expression tells me that you haven't finished." The emperor said angrily, "Say it out, say it out..."

The sticking pole office guard shook his head desperately.

The emperor said, "Do you want to bully the emperor too? Come on, take him out and beat him to death!"

Then, the guard at the sticking pole kowtowed desperately and said, "Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me."

The emperor coughed violently again and said, "Speak, speak quickly."

The guard at the sticking pole said, "At that time, countless people shouted loudly..."

The emperor said, "What are you shouting? What?"

The guard at the sticking pole kowtowed desperately and said, "Even if you cut me into pieces, I dare not say those two words..."

"A tyrant, right? Is he a tyrant?" the emperor roared.

The guard at the sticking pole knelt and crawled on the ground, not daring to move, just crying desperately.

The emperor couldn't help but imagine that scene in his mind.

Countless people supported Su Ye and admired him.

Countless people raised their arms and shouted, tyrant, tyrant, tyrant!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

During the violent coughing, the emperor seemed to have auditory hallucinations, as if the deafening word "tyrant" came from his ears.

The emperor roared, "Su Ye, you should be cut into pieces, cut into pieces!"

Then, he coughed violently again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
